I know he was an FA video analysist and I think Gnev took him to Valencia with him? He was v highly rated by the FA but from a quick look Rangers fans weren't too happy with him

I've heard he's Sh*t hot.
Okay get your puns ready. We need at least 5 pages.

The article says he's not going to be part of the recruitment seem. Seems a bit weird to get a chief scout in and then not use him to be a scout!

He will have input! Too much details to divulge it will come out eventually.

Ironically Andy Scoulding got his chance as a scout having worked previously as a video analyst because of Spurs' tendency to play a skeleton team in League Cup matches.

From the Daily Record 1st Nov 2017

“My [Ewan Chester, then Fulham head of recruitment. Scoulding was a video analyst there.] scouting staff was quite defined in terms of who covered which games and we were looking at Spurs over a number of matches before we were due to play them in the league.

“One of those games was a League Cup fixture against Arsenal and we knew they tended to play a skeleton side in that tournament, so it made more sense for one of the senior scouts to watch another opponent that night.

“Andy was so full of enthusiasm and was keen to get involved so I cleared it with Chris Coleman and our managing director, David McNally. Andy went to White Hart Lane and gave me a comprehensive report of the match he had seen."

Former Rangers scout: Derek McInnes is the perfect choice to become next boss

Andy Scoulding got his big break in football at Fulham from ex-Rangers scout Ewan Chester - the man who helped Graeme Souness, Walter Smith and Dick Advocaat win 35 major trophies.

Ewan Chester there’s a name I haven’t thought of in a while. Used to be a scout with rangers back when I was a young lad playing for them. Really nice geezer. Must be a major overhaul of our back room staff happening to go for scoulding for the role.

Not sure why? Aribo, Bassey and Kent among others were down to his endeavours.

I'm not sure where they've read that. Just been on Rangers forum and it's clear he's done a very good job. European final on a budget many levels below Prem.

The whole set up at Rangers has clearly been top notch

Sounds like he’ll be heading up some sort of analytics department. Good news as they are becoming an important part of the game.

Sounds like we finally have a stats man. Someone from spurs must have seen SC members always banging on about stats lol.

I read an article recently where we just had a clean out at the academy. I guess this coincides with his appointment.

Time to rebuild from the ground up.

Does that refer to the players or the staff (or both)?
